Man with 50Kg scrotum needs $1 million for surgery

Wesley Warren Jr. a man from Las Vegas, suffering a rare condition that causes his scrotum enlarge with 50 kg weight.

All this time he’s trying to hide the condition, scrotal elephantiasis, finally he decided to reveal it to public, with a hope that people will help him to donate money up to $US1 million for surgery cost.

He had the condition since three years ago.

“It is very difficult for me to move. So I stay home in most of the time,” he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Though he knew people would laugh at his condition, he decided to go on Howard Stern’s radio and cable TV show.

“I don’t like being a freak, who would?” he said. “But I figured that the Stern show is listened to by millions of people and they might want to help me. I hope some millionaire or billionaire will want to help me.”

Warren’s actual condition experienced rarely found outside of tropical regions of Africa and Asia. The disease is usually triggered by an infection caused by mosquito bites.

But Warren said he never travelled to tropical areas and believes the condition was caused by an accident in 2008, when he squeezed his testicles with his leg while twisting in bed. The next day his scrotum had grown bigger and bigger.

He went to the University Medical Center hospital at that time, and received antibiotics for two weeks. Doctors said his condition caused by an infection. However there’s no change at all.
